In Cineam. 19.

THou dogged Cineas hated like a dogge, For still thou grumblest like a masty dogge. Compar'st thy selfe to nothing but a dogge. Thou say'st thou art as weary as a dogge As angry, sick, and hungry as a dogge, As dul and melancholy as a dogge. As lazy, sleepy, and as idle as a dogge. But why doest thou compare thee to a dogge? In that, for which all men despise a dogge. I will compare thee better to a dogge. Thou art as Faire and comely as a dogge.

Thou art as true and honest as a dogge. Thou art as kinde and liberall as a dogge, Thou art as wise and valiant as a dogge. But Cineas, I oft haue heard thee tell, Thou art as like thy father as may be. Tis like enough, and faith I like it well, But I am glad thou art not like to me.
